One of the first looks at the new four core machines designed for the end-user. These are actually dual/dual-core machines.

    John

    Was that out in Sunnyvale or down in Austin?

  2. ECA says:

    Send me one, I will do free Evaluation..

  3. OhForTheLoveOf says:

    The machine looks powerful, but they ought to upgrade the spokesman.

  4. Pete says:

    Wonder how loud the box is will all those fans

  5. TJGeezer says:

    Wonder how hot it runs, too

  6. V says:

    #5, it’s hot enough that when Apple stuffs one in a MacBook it will overheat, short circuit, and cause the device to shut down randomly. The rest of us will be just fine.

    On another note, does anyone know whether our OS’s and software even benefit from extra cores?

  7. SN says:

    Wow, eight AMD cores in one computer. I guess my dream will finally come true. I’ll never have to run the furnace ever again!

  8. Marc Perkel says:

    That’s what I’m going to get. Less the video cards – but with 8 gigs of memory. I’m just going to have to wait till they stabilize.

  9. iJames says:

    And here I’ve been unable to play four videos at once all this time…

    #6 – Just because you can’t afford a Mac is no reason to get pissy.

  10. Scott says:

    Who’s that crank demanding to see the computer in the begining?

  11. Omnicbex says:

    Wow…
    I had an idea once of a 10-core system.
    2X 2-core CPUs
    2X 2-core GPUs
    Sound Processing
    Physics Processing
    maybe it’s not far off.

    “Pure enthusiast sex appeal”
    – look what I spent the mortgage money on, honey! It also doubles as a space heater!

    And I have only play only one game at a time like a sucker…

  12. ChrisMac says:

    is the race still on?

  13. Mr. Fusion says:

    You can use all that extra heat to keep a pot of coffee going, heat your swimming pool during the winter months, and dry the laundry.

    Did you see the fans in the door???

    But the power !!!

  14. Andres says:

    That’s ridonculous…

  15. steve skoal says:

    Say what you want Intel fanboys, AMD knows how to create the ultimate platform. And if you’re doing the sort of thing this beast was designed for who cares about the heat. if it’s to much for you girls, go get a gateway from bestbuy. and make sure to put down the toliet seat when you pee.
